headlights on with switch turned off

I have a weird problem. My highbeam indicator stays lit as well as the headlights when the switch is in the off position. Also noticed some clicking noises from a black "relay type" box located under the dash in the middle. Truck is a 2000 f250 SD. Anyone ever experience this? Thanks

I'll at least get this bumped back up..

Welcome to FTE... Sounds like you just have a faulty headlight relay.. The contacts are probably stuck.. You can pull it & the headlights should go off.. You can try smacking it gently & see if that frees the contacts, but I'd grab a replacement one from your local auto parts store..

Good Luck,

Russ
